What have we gained from the hurried independence in 1948 ? 1952, 1958, 1977, 1983 , 30 years of war and 2009. What is next in the horizon? Late Lord Mountbatten wanted to get the chief of defence staff post in the UK as such he hurried the independence if India and Sri Lanka to the detrimental of both countries.
